Example 3

Sets the boot order for the virtual machine “Test VM”. $vmNetworkAdapter contains a VM Network Adapter object (acquired using get-VMNetworkAdapter) and $vmHardDiskDrive contains a VM hard disk object (acquired using get-VMHardDiskDrive). Any existing boot entries not specified by this command will be removed from the virtual machine.
